was suppose to go tonite,trip was on as of 11 this morning,all pumped up,loading my gear and getting everything together,then around 12:15 friend Ken who booked the trip for us calls me back that he got a call from the boat that they changed there mind and were canceling,this is after they told him it was a go.the reason was the captain was concerned for the safety of the passengers with icing on the deck. well back to my cabin fever duldrums.now really looking forward to Delaware Bandit trip in Febuary.    Kez

Safety first. Smart Captain. I have been on boats that were iced up when I was in the Coast Guard. Not fun at all.
It is disappointing though, getting a trip cancelled.

That stinks...hate getting all excited and then getting weathered out!  Although, ice skating on the deck of a boat does not sound fun, either.

YEah it stinks when you are all primed to go.....but as was said safety before anything else. I've had 2 deepwater Sea Bass trips cancelled on me this year   So I wind up doing thing to make the little women happy

Its not offshore but the Carolyn Ann III out of Barnegat Light, NJ was supposed to finish up this weekend, but so to the extreme cold, they have suspended their operations until the spring.
